Lyrics

No matter how much I cut It always grows back Like a plague

No matter how much I care for it It always reopens Exposing the wounds

A struggle to find balance

No matter how much I try It always works against me An endless struggle for stability

I don't know who I am I don't know what I am

I have been living a lie

It grows back, and reopens It cannot be removed, or stitched together

I yearn for answers And wish for a second chance

Sikk vocals. The dissonance makes me think of Deathspell Omega, which I love. Kind of like Dillinger Escape Plan playing black metal. The ending guitar brings some atmospheric spices to the mix. Again, absolutely shattering execution.

I'm not sure the struggle to find balance is always a worthy one. While this sits in a pretty different soundscape from where I play, the vocals make me think I spend too much time on clarity and miss some extreme emotions.
